Deductibiliy for travel to rental market pre- and post-purchase?

[Bob Gruenig]

I purchased a out-of-stated rental property in May 2018.  I visited the area prior to purchase of the home and then visited it in December 2018.  

Is my first trip deductible, having eventually purchased a rental property in the market?  

Is my second trip deductible, understanding that I used the trip to visit with the property manager and to also view the outside of the property?
